hopefully one piece returns...i think deep down inside it won't but it's already died twice before and come back to american television so no reason it won't return again...is a theory some fans seem to have and it does make sense at some point we'll lose HXH Jojo Or Naruto And We'll need A Long Runner to really keep that spot locked down Don't want the network becoming The DB Super Block hell maybe it'll return when DBZ Kai Wraps up....the return is more likely than i originally since there aren't a lot of popular modern long running animes and one piece is already beloved by many of the toonami crew so if there's some way for them to bring it back in the not too distant future i can see them taking it and doing whatever adjustments need to be made to ensure another failure won't happen

I'd feel weird doing that after this incident

i hate people who think one piece leaving toonami means it's failed with america and that it has no place in the united states.... just makes me wish there was more to Anime On Television than Toonami....a late night insomniac's block which doesn't seem to be a good indicator of success

The Straw Hats do steal treasure yes but they don't exactly start trouble with people who don't deserve it Over In Naruto A Lot Of Fights And Battles are basically about RIval Ninja Clans duking it because they are rival ninja clans

i guess but being forced to buy the sets or get Funimation Now! to continue watching isn't something most of us can afford to do

at least there are heroes in one piece instead of slightly less evil douchebags on naruto which seems to be the case a lot of the time it's not a case of being salty about OP leaving toonami and naruto staying but a case of people fighting for stupid reasons and villains being villains for even dumber reasons

i think it's bullshit the show gets pulled right as brook joins the crew....it's like the worst timing

Superman is an alien.....yet he doesn't have some bullshit warrior's mentality of "I Want My Opponent at their very best so I'm Gonna Give them a fair shot in this fight" so to say Yeah Goku gets a pass because he's a space alien is total bullcrap

maybe americans like naruto because they secretly envision themselves as an emo ninja who has no friends and wants to die

and at least one piece had characters who weren't going to just give the villain a fair shot just because.... Looking at you goku... Goku is like the worst anime hero ever and yet he's the most popular anime hero...it's weird he jeopardizes his family and loved ones constantly because he wants to fight the villains at their best

not really....i just cannot find any likable naruto characters most of them are just dicks at this point or idiots

not really...when your a dick you soon realize you have far more enemies than friends and nobody i mean nobody is running to help someone who is a complete asshole but nooo the characters have their weak reasons for complete jerks that don't hold up that well most of the time

most of the guys in naruto act like selfish dicks or insane assholes at this point I'm not sure why that's a trait people look up to but it seems to be

it says a lot about america when their favorite anime is the one with the braindead protagonist who would give his opponent a fighting chance just because he's from a race of insane bloodlusting warriors that hunger for the fight

i just feel like a majority of naruto characters either aren't that interesting or they are complete assholes....really there's nothing i can say about the most recently introduced characters they leave no impact on me and i have no reason to remember them everything just boils down to "Dark Gritty Backstory where I'm Validated for my bullshit behavior"

and television suffers because of it....

i ask because months and months of Whiny Bitchy Emo Sasuke doesn't appeal to me and yet somehow people just eat that shit up

i just never got into naruto as much as one piece because a lot of the characters seemed rather dull or in Sasuke's case annoying as all shit(Oh Look at me I'm The Goddamn Emo Anime Batman!) i liked one piece ending off the night of premieres because it was an action/comedy show it wasn't over the top "Edge Lord" Serious and so it was easy to wind down with the show however while there is some comedy in naruto it's few and far between compared to one piece and a lot of the time is way too freaking serious for something You'll be seeing before you head to bed

are there big uber popular naruto story arcs on par with One Piece's Marineford?(I.E An Arc that puts butts in seats)

I Can't wait for everyone to shit post about tokyo ghoul and for it's ratings to be in the dumpster

it's just frustrating because you try to get everyone into other anime but they keep crawling back to DBZ and that's one nobody shuts the hell up about

i doubt toonami gives a crap at this point people are gonna watch no matter what the schedule is the removal of one piece was dropped on them out of the blue so i honestly doubt they've been thinking that hard about what they are gonna do about the schedule probably don't have time to when it comes to thinking about the future of the block and how can you win over the fans of one piece who now feel betrayed because The Nielsen Boxes deemed one piece too risky and not enough of a profit Tokyo Ghoul isn't gonna win anyone over unless they just like Edgy Emo Stuff

that's still a long ways away....and even though some say it might come back differently I'd prefer if it didn't go so far that it skips marineford entirely it's depressing that samurai jack can get reruns aired on a wednesday night for the final season but none of the toonami anime's could get that treatment....even DBZ! I'd imagine one piece would be doing better if they reran the previous episode on a weeknight(Maybe Tuesday?) anime's never gonna have premieres again on the weekdays but maybe reairing the most recent episode on a weeknight would do some good more people are probably watching television on the weekday than the weekend since the weekend gives them other things to do and honestly they wouldn't be stuck in front of the tv

let's just admit that one piece wasn't for the average american viewer and leave it at that they need explosions and lots of action scenes...otherwise it's boring

it also heps it has lots of explosions and action...something that americans require to care about any show
